Zoë's Place provides 24-hour palliative, respite and end-of-life care to infants aged 0-5 years with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. We provide short-term regular care with our dedicated nursing staff, in a home from home environment to give parents and carers a well deserved break.

Story

We're gearing up for the ultimate road trip challenge - the 2025 SkinFlint Rally to Bovec, Slovenia!

As part of Shaftec's 30th anniversary fundraising campaign, our team from the automotive aftermarket and remanufacturing industry is putting our expertise to the test in this epic 1,000+ mile adventure across Europe to raise funds for Zoe's Place Baby Hospice in Coventry.

From September 19th-21st, we'll be navigating through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy before reaching the stunning Slovenian town of Bovec. And here's the real challenge - we're doing it in cars that cost no more than £500 each! Our automotive know-how will be pushed to its limits as we modify, repair, and maintain these budget vehicles throughout the journey.

Following the success of the 2024 Barcelona or Bust Rally, we're determined to push ourselves further while supporting a charity that provides crucial palliative, respite, and end-of-life care to babies and infants from birth to five years suffering from life-limiting conditions.

Our journey will be filled with fun challenges at each checkpoint, beautiful scenery, unexpected adventures, and the satisfaction of knowing every mile driven helps Zoe's Place continue their vital work. As specialists in automotive components and remanufacturing, we're excited to demonstrate how ingenuity and technical skill can transform budget vehicles into reliable European road-trippers.

Your sponsorship and support will not only help us reach our destination but contribute to Shaftec's ambitious goal of raising £30,000 for Zoe's Place in 2025. Follow our adventure here, and thank you for helping us make a difference for the children and families who rely on Zoe's Place.
